l Application filed February 1,1892. Serial No. 420,004. (No model.)

To all whom t may 0077/067171,.-

Be it known that I, MONS. A. LINDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pullman, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Sink andBat-h- Tub; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andeXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it ap pertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in combined sinks and bath-tubs,and consists essentially of a kitchen sink so constructed as to beadapted to cover a bath-tub which is mounted upon rollers to facilitateits withdrawal from beneath the sink for use, flexible drain and servicepipes being provided to admit of its movement.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, shows a perspective view of thesink and tub, the latter being drawn from beneath the sink; Fig. 2, is atransverse vertical section on the line, 2, 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, is anelevation of a portion of one end of the tub, and Fig. 4f, is alongitudinal vertical section on the line 4, 4, Fig. 3.

The object of the invention is to provide a cheap and serviceable bathappliance for use in houses in which there is no separate bathroom.

In the drawings, A represents an ordinary kitchen sink, set in a frame,a, of common construction. The space beneath the frame of the sink isleft open for the accommodation of a bath-tub, B, which is supportedupon rollers, b, t), and b', b, by means of which rollers the tub iseasily withdrawn from beneath the sink for use, and returned to itsoriginal position where it is entirely out of the way. Ordinarilypull-handles, b2, b2, are fixed to the front of the bath-tub, for convenience in moving the tub. The rollers, b, b, are fixed upon and keyedto a shaft, h3, which extends the entire length of the tub near itsfront side, the rollers being located at each end of the shaft. -Theshaft, b3, is 5o journaled in hangers, c, c, which are fastened to theend of the tub. The Weight of the tub, however, is conveyed to theshaft, b3, by means of the blocks, C, C, which are fixed transversely tothe bottom of the tub, and recessed transversely to receive the shaft.The blocks, C, O, are preferably located adjacentto the rollers, b, b,whereby lateral movement of the rollers is prevented. The rollers, b',b', are journaled in hangers, c', c', which are fixed to and depend fromthe rearward side of the tub. Guiderails, c2, c2, are fixed to the iioorparallel with the direction of movement of the rollers, h, b, andadjacent to the blocks, C, C. I tix the rollers, 29,5, on the shaft, b3,so that any force applied to one of the handles, b2, b2, for the purposeof moving the tub, will cause the roller at the opposite end of the tubto revolve, thereby securing movement of the entire tub instead ofmerely one end of it.

Flexible pipes, D, I), are used for conveying hot and cold water fromthe faucets, d', d', to the bath-tub. These faucets are located abovethe sink for use in connection therewith, and the flexible pipesmentioned are provided with union joints, whereby they may be secured tothe faucets when it is desired to fill lthe tub. When the tub is not inuse these pipes are removed from the faucets, and may be convenientlystored within the tub itself.

Flexible waste pipes, E, E', are secured respectively to the waste portand over-flow port of the bath-tub, and communicate with the drain pipe,d', of the sink, A. As shown, the pipe, E', communicates with the pipe,a', above its trap, and the pipe, E, communicates with said pipe, d',below its trap, and is itself provided with an independent trap. Thetub, B, is necessarily somewhat shorter than the frame of the sink, soas to allow space for the plumbing. This space at the end of the tub ispreferably closed by the door, a2,hinged to the wall or upright supportof the sink.

F represents the rod for operating the shuto valve of the water supply.
